Tasting notes

This mature Gran Reserva delivers a remarkable aromatic intensity on the nose, with notes of ripe fruit and raison and a smoky complexity. The palate is silky soft with wild herb, spice and toasted tones. To make a Gran Reserva Rioja the wines has to be aged at least two years in oak and three years in bottle.

Baron de Ley was created just over 25 years ago as specialist producer of Reserva and Gran Reserva Rioja. Twice voted Spanish Wine Producer of the Year by the International Wine and Spirits Competition, their wines consistently win top awards.

Expert reviews

"This has all of the quality that you'd expect from a Gran Reserva Rioja made by a respected producer. There's a fine balance of developing, soft tannins and ripe fruit. Structured and stylish, there are aromas of strawberry, cherry and red berries, mingling with a leathery smokiness typical of top quality Rioja. Hints of herbs and vanilla on the nose complement the full mouthfeel. Harmonious and balanaced, this is a superb example of character and typicity."
